Zlosyň is a municipality and village in Mělník District in the Central Bohemian Region of the Czech Republic. It has about 500 inhabitants.
The name is derived either from the personal name Zlosyn or from the Czech word zlosyn (i.e. 'villain'), meaning "Zlosyn's/zlosyn's".[2]
Zlosyň is located about 11km (07miles) southwest of Mělník and 19km (12miles) north of Prague. It lies in the Central Elbe Table.
The first written mention of Zlosyň is from 1316. According to a record from 1654, the village was probably destroyed during the Thirty Years' War and later restored. For centuries, the village was agricultural, but in the 19th century, residents began to commute to work in nearby industrial centres.[3]
The D8 motorway from Prague to Ústí nad Labem passes through the municipality.
The main landmark of Zlosyň and the most valuable building is the Baroque granary. In the centre of Zlosyň is a chapel from 1942.[4]
